Shirley, The Investment Manager

"Shirley, The Investment Manager"

On their wedding night, Shirley, the young bride,
approached her new husband Peter and asked
for $20.00 for their first lovemaking encounter. In his
highly aroused state her husband readily agreed.
This scenario was repeated each time they made
love, for the next 30 years, with him thinking that it
was a cute way for her to afford new clothes and
other incidentals that she needed.

Arriving home around noon one day, Shirley was
surprised to find her husband Peter in a very drunken
state. During the next few minutes, he explained that
his employer was going through a process of corporate
downsizing, and he had been let go. It was unlikely that
at the age of 55, he'd be able to find another position
that paid anywhere near what he'd been earning, and
therefore, they were financially ruined.

Calmly, his Shirley handed him a bank book which
showed thirty years of deposits and interest totaling
nearly $1 million. Then, she showed him certificates
of deposits issued by the bank which were worth over
$2 million, and informed him that they were one of the
largest depositors in the bank. She explained that for
the 30 years she had charged him for sex, these
holdings had multiplied and these were the results of
her savings and investments.

Faced with evidence of cash and investments worth over
$ 3 million, Peter was so astounded he could barely
speak, but finally he found his voice and blurted out,
"If I'd had any idea what you were doing, I would have
given you all my business!"
